Whoever is post 241 242 and 244 is wack.

Especially if they have an alt they log on to view posts they can't see otherwise.

oh thanks andy I was actually going to ask you for that

loling @ that Cissnei run, ah, what a beauty. Thanks Inviso for the multiple bail-outs!

Cid H lasting 52 extra days, wow. Could've added to the 7 hardboot slaughter. Why even nominate Zack back in at this point. Reno adding one more title to his reign as (potential) softboot champion, also unsurprising. Yuffie, maybe a little surprising though she almost got caught in FoG two years ago.

Garik Ronso at 99th, I mean it's not 100th but it's good enough, I guess. Good job everybody!

Year of the Dads looks like it panned out pretty nicely? Shuyin redemption? Kefka and Lightning out at the midgame, shameful... Layle got out of his usual dread 30-spot, how'd that one come about? More Laylevids?

No prob, I thought you might like to see it!

Yuffie has never been booted before, that was probably the spiciest boot we had. Cissnei had a habit of killing fellow VII characters early on lol. Cid H has guaranteed the 'most days lasted post-iron' title, though he narrowly beat Galuf there.

Layle just got a push from a few users who decided it was his time to go a bit further. Laylevids came, but they were more a response to the push rather than the instigator.

Kefka going out like that post-win isn't too surprising, especially when Raiden took some time off around then. Light got unlucky but swordz was pushing... someone else I think, don't remember what happened there. Or maybe it's just that nobody else was there for her this year, it was a weak year for XIII. Sazh finally got last standing for the first time though, as did Rinoa and Ardyn.

Year of Dads has gone alright, though it expanded to include moms and there have been several dubious additions along the way to stretch the definition of parent.

And without you here to compete Inviso became a sniping monster as you can see.

[1-0] XX: Fang
[7-0] XXI: Lightning

[6-0] XXIII: Kefka Palazzo

keep in mind how many appearances Rikku has made in the lefty post above, being twice as much as the next non-champ's appearances (Tifa)

Unsolicited top 10 thoughts without really knowing how we got here or who's to credit or what the zeitgeist of the contest is:

Faris Scherwiz: A bit of a surprise! Usually out in the 40-60s midgame, guess she was primed for another deep run, I recall Inviso was a fan so assumed they were the primary support source, but checked the SaveMy stats and see Maniac's her top saver, what a twist! Though maybe Inviso's still #1 by virtue of trading, that's probably the case... well anyways, nice to see her in the top 10 following up on last year's Galuf run (and successive successful run this year, wow!)

Celes Chere: Reasons I like Celes: she's supported by fav users GMUN and Yankees; green leotard outfit. Dislikes: past champion, character from her game won last year, ugly Amano art outfit (makes Lettuce Kefka look good in comparison)

Aerith Gainsborough: last year's finalist goddess making it through what I assume was her usually dicey midgame, no iron man per andy's post so no especially close calls? Glad to see my absence didn't doom her, assuming MI gets primary credit for carrying her this far as every year. Tifa's #1 in my heart but Aerith is #1 in my head, given her record runner-up performance.

Tifa Lockhart: dodged most of the elimination pain last year since I had to focus on Sephiroth but her getting this far is giving me flashbacks to the XXII run that fell short on Day 97, damn. Could conditions be different this time? Surely at least one of the T&A pair can compete to win it all this time, right? Unless we got both in the finals, truly the dream.

Rinoa Heartilly: so this is the power of "Super Strong"...

Vivi Ornitier: oh geez. I remember my "one of these 10 will win" post from early in the game last year and watching out for the endgame Vivi run, seems he got there this time, first since XX. Pretty certain if I made a similar list on Day 20-something this year he'd be on it with the same reasoning, hell even if he three-peats he'll probably still be there threatening the four-peat. Movie monster's shambling closer while we're jiggling the doorknob to get out. Scary times ahead!

Rikku: kind of a surprise to see her back again without the wind of the YR(P) push behind her sails, though considering she's got more top 10s than anyone else left standing at this stage, guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Still, nice!

Tidus: I need to check the logsite to see how he made it over Seymour, damn. I always like the Seymour runs even if I could never really help them. I guess his departure is to Tidus's benefit led by the charon/Genny/guff trio, among others. Moonroof is still banned though, eh... probably for the best

Emet-Selch: super happy about this. I mentioned in the nominations topic that, while I've never played XIV (and likely never will), I stumbled down the youtube rabbit hole on Emet-Selch videos and watched a good number of them (also listen to the 1-hour loop of "Invincible" when I really need it during my workday, so like multiple times a week). Love this character so am really glad to see he's last standing from XIV, and the top placement for that game has improved for each contest as more people get assimilated into the XIV collective. Top 5 in store for this run? He crushed the savecount so easily today, really can't even discount a run to the finals at this point either, damn. So good!!

Ramza Beoulve: finally, the Tactics character denied his rightful run returning to the top 10. But after 2nd place Delita and 3rd place Agrias, is the community burned out on Tactics endgame runs? Or is this the time to finally declare "Yes, RICH Ramza!"? Would be a great follow-up victory to defeating Donkey Kong via yell spam.

Rikku has always done well even without identifiable lead support

although my impression may be biased by bot contest results where she did really well but then made the top 5 a complete drag because Rikku savers weren't actually involved with trading so she'd cause long stalls

which is why i then implemented the "just save characters as much as you want" rule

alright re-ran the bot for the Top 10

https://gmun.moe/savemy/predix.html

... bot really doesn't care that Celes has been Iron Manning every other round, Aeris > Celes finals with this top 10

first time bot's terminated the finals due to voters running out of interest to save rather than hitting the 350 cap, while using all voting data (rankings + historical saving)

... also interesting that everyone lost interest without even capping their max saves? Ends 312-278, not multiples of 10. I suppose it's possible people without explicit priorities might've saved both, capped one of them, then stopped saving because there's then only 1 character they could save

Ah you're right, I had a memory of more weakness there but it was really just the XXII 68th placement which seems more like an outlier. Fair enough!

alright re-ran with both the ranked+historical data as I meant to

https://gmun.moe/savemy/predix-t10.html

Aeris dropped to 4th, Celes to 3rd. Your new finalists are Rikku > Ramza

almost VI's Two Characters With 5-Letter Names Starting With R...

*edit* oh yeah I gotta fix that thing about finals deciding the wrong winner if they don't hit 350 lolz

I definitely remember saving her seconds before the end of a round once. Just checked it was day 79, 6 seconds before the Garnet save that killed Cait Sith.

The bot decided that it's killing the poor Ramza meme one way or another.

tweaked bot to terminate the finals after 2 days have passed, boosted speeds of people who only saved once in a round to now do saves every 8 hours in the finals instead of a whole ass day, annnnd gave Martin his XXIII-era speed/attendance/arrival and added Aeris prio

oh and I fixed the finals decision thing

doing a few runs, bot certainly likes Aeris/Celes/Ramza + 2 of Tifa/Faris/Rikku for the Top 5, sometimes Rinoa can push in up to 3rd-4th

very bearish on Tidus/Emet/Vivi

Here are the results of the top 10 predix everybody made at top 20!

3/10
GMUN's bot

If this is a indicator of how accurate the bot is, I expect a lot of people to fall in line behind Emet to prevent a repeat (or threepeat) winner.
